The Waxbill Finch Society

Species Advisors' Scheme

Co-ordinated breeding schemes have been set up where any member keeping a species has the opportunity to inform a
Species Advisor of the numbers kept and bred. The advisor can then put members in touch with one another
to arrange sales, exchanges and purchases to promote the building-up of viable populations of the target
species in aviculture's protected breeding environment.

Presentation: breeding returns

This page features each species along with the details of the relevant breeding advisor. In a similar way
to the species profiles page, the list of species is sorted according to the breeding returns over the past five, calendar
years (2012-2016). We hope this presentation provides a useful overview of those species where viable populations are being
established and those that are vanishing from the UK avicultural scene.
